Slovenia Weekly: Taking Swift and Decisive Action

Prime Minister Robert Golob welcomed the resolution with a roadmap for a ceasefire in Gaza adopted by the UN Security Council on Monday. The Prime Minister noted that Slovenia was proud of its contribution to the adoption of the resolution, which brings hope for peace.

He believes that the UN Security Council resolution adopted yesterday is very clear and gives hope for a two-state solution, but action must be taken immediately and swiftly. The Slovenian Government therefore decided to commit an additional EUR 2.5 million through various UN programmes to provide immediate humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people. This is a continuation of Slovenia’s concrete efforts to mitigate the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, as Prime Minister Golob promised after the adoption of the decision to recognise the State of Palestine.

The European Football Championship kicks off today. Slovenia will be making its second appearance in the finals of the old continent tournament, having been represented among Europe's elite for the first time 24 years ago. With record support, Slovenia will be looking to achieve a historic qualification to the knockout rounds. Slovenian fans snapped up 36,000 tickets for Slovenia's three group matches. What's more, according to some reports, as many as 50,000 Slovenians are expected to travel to Germany in what will be the biggest fan pilgrimage in any sport in the country’s history. And we can be sure that the footballers will do their utmost to make history with their performances on the pitch.
